Comment on “All About Me” Preschool Activities – Part I by Silvia

Hello,

Yes, “everyone is different” is a concept that must be learned since we are kids. That and the fact we have to respect this would help us to develop us as people. It will make easier the socialization process and the success in personal life.

I have tried with my son, a part of the activities you described, but I will try the another ones. It seems to be easy but interesting.

Keep in touch.

I love your Chanuka ideas! I teach in a town where there aren’t many people who celebrate Chanuka besides me and a few teachers have asked me to come in and talk about the holiday. Your Dreidel example will come in handy :). A little piece of info,. the message around the dreidel is “A Miralce Happened Here” if anyone is wondering why those particular Hebrew letters are actually on the dreidel !

Very nice ideas! Thanks!

Comment on Balloon Games to Make any Birthday Party Special by Kids Birthday Party Games

Kids Birthday Party Games — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:01:47 +0000

[...] Balloon Games – There are many different games that can be played with balloons so as long as the kids in your party group are old enough to play with them without problems, you’ll probably want to add a balloon game to your child’s party. For example, have a balloon Stuffing Contest – The way this game works is to divide the group of kids into teams of two. One of the two gets to wear a big, baggy T-shirt. You’ll turn on fun music and the second child will stuff blown-up balloons up the baggy shirt of the first child. The child with the most balloons in their shirt is the winner but all of the kids win with the silliness of this game. A less silly but still fun balloon game is Back-2-Back in which two kids stand back to back passing a balloon around to each other until it pops; the last team with an unpopped balloon wins and you get lots of good video footage of the kids laughing as the balloons pop all around them.

Comment on Chores For Preschool Kids by lchadder

lchadder — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:00:36 +0000

It all comes down to channelising their energies that contributes to a happy and healthy childhood. And what better way to get them do their chores by giving them responsibilities and rewarding them with cash or kind.
My kids are 7 and 3. When it came to chores, I just browsed the net and found some chore charts (my kids liked the designs in the website kidrewardzone). We filled up the chores and columns to mark a star in each chore. There is a minus for each negative behavior, like tantrums, not using dustbins for trash, and so on. They would get bucks for each star minus each negative mark. A trip to the park on Saturday, if BOTH get all the stars (here I don’t count the negatives)for the week. Now, there are no arguments, yelling, and shouting. Its only “YAAAAYYY…”

Excellent ideas, I love the fact that you stressed how children are unique & different-it is so true how children need hands on projects for this! Children learn by doing…the more senses you can involve in a project the better…it really submerses you & the children in it!

Comment on Teaching a Child to Ride a Bike without Training Wheels by Eric

My two sons developed their balance on scooters. They played with their scooters for at least two years and ride bikes with training wheels for about three. When they were ready to take off the training wheels on their bikes, I only had to run behind them for less than a minute each. I think it’s important not to push them too early. When they are ready to take off the training wheels, they will let you know.

Comment on Establishing Healthy Bedtime Routines by Rachel

Rachel — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:08:36 +0000

I actually enjoy our bedtime routine. After the baby goes to bed my preschool-aged boys get their pajamas on. After teeth are brushed we sit on their beds and read a couple of stories. Since they usually still have some energy to burn we let them play their Leapsters for about 15 minutes and then they go to sleep on their own. Sometimes we sit and talk with them while they play. This is often my favorite time of the day because they tell me their silliest stories. This routine has worked very well for us, and because we do it every night they don’t even question it.
